The Pro Mod 5 second Club got a new member in Tierp!
The Pro Mod 5 second Club has now grown a bit again!

The fourth member who earned his membership in the club was Johan Lindberg from Sweden, who made his first 5 second run at Tierp Arena during the Sweden Internationals.

Johan is a worthy member who is also included in the staff that have been building the great new venue Tierp Arena.

5.988 sec. was the elapsed time performed by Lindberg which granted a lifelong membership in the prominent 5 second club. Not the fastest run in the club so far but nevertheless a great achievement!

The Pro Mod 5 second Club was started 2009 with Mats Eriksson when he ran the first ever 5-second run in Europe.

The initial tradition was founded by Top Methanol Dragster representative and Speedgroup co-worker Gittli Koller who handed over a diploma from the team she was working for at the time, as a gratification to Mats 5 second run. The tradition had been present in the methanol dragster class for quite a while and has since then become established also in the Pro Mod class.

The second and third members in the 5 second club are Michael Gullqvist and Adam Flamholc.

The tradition sstates the newest member in the club hands over a diploma to the next driver who manages to break into the 5 second range. So it was Adam Flamholc who got to welcome driver Johan Lindberg (and brother crew chief brother Jonny) into this honored club. Adam was joined by the other members Mats Eriksson and Michael Gullqvist for the occasion.

Now it is only to wait and see who the next driver will be that Lindberg Bros is going to hand over a 5-second Club diploma to!
